Continuous Protection

The 100% Tie-Off Talon with twin-legs provides continuous fall protection and a significant increase in mobility. The unique design allows the user to attach one lifeline leg to the anchor point, move to a new location and connect the second, then disconnect the first and move again. This “leap-frog” action provides 100% protection while moving from one location to another. Each lifeline works independently, extending up to 1.8m and automatically retracting providing fall protection and mobility 100% of the time!

Reduced Fall Distances and Forces

Talon’s automatic, inertia activated brake will lock quickly stopping a falling worker within inches - providing more protection at low heights. With the lifeline secured overhead, the total fall distance (free-fall + deceleration) is limited to 1m or less. By reducing the fall distance, the arresting forces are also minimised, therefore decreasing the impact on the worker.

User Friendly

Talon quickly and easily attaches directly to the back of the user’s harness by means of the built-in quick-connect handle. A securing strap holds the Talon in the correct position, preventing it from moving around during the users work activities. The twin-leg lifeline hooks can simply be attached to the front of the harness when not in use, keeping them out of the way. The small and lightweight housing comfortably stays on the user’s back, out of the way, but always ready to stop the fall.
